| Solution Heat Treat Process Definitions |
Process Definitions courtesy of ASM International :
- Solution Heat Treatment is
heating an alloy to a suitable temperature, holding at that
temperature long enough to cause one or more constituents to
enter into solid solution, and then cooling rapidly enough to
hold these constituents in solution.
- Precipitation Hardening is
hardening caused by the precipitation of a constituent from a
supersaturated solid solution.
- Aging or Ageing is a change in the properties of certain metals and alloys
that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after
hot working or a heat treatment or after a cold working
operation. The change in properties is often, but not
always, due to a phase change (precipitation), but never involves
a change in chemical composition of the metal or alloy.
- Artificial
aging is aging above room temperature.
